This video presents Helping the Homeless in Toronto.
One way to help people who are homeless and vulnerable this holiday season is to donate the items as requested on the City of Toronto’s annual Holiday Wish List which provides suggestions from the community agencies that serve the homeless in Toronto.
“The most common items on the wish list this year are toiletries, winter clothing and gift cards for groceries – things that seem like everyday items but can make a big difference to an individual or family in need.”
Another way is to volunteer at these community agencies to help serve food, wrap gifts and sort donations.
